Rajirra Beach PaintWear

Khajiiti fashion isn't something most people notice around Anvil. Yet among those in-the-know, an underwear revolution is taking place. For them, gone are the baggy, ill-fitting loincloths of yesteryear. Painted underwear has taken over, replacing the needle and thread with the paintbrush and a steady (and flexible) hand. Indeed, only those with very intimate mates or who can hire professionals can finish the look properly. No one knows quite how it had started, but once the cats had been given a taste of it’s tail-freeing freedom, it has spread like wildfire as fashion trends often do.

But it took a leap of courage, daring and innovation before the trend spread to beachwear. The look is widely credited to Rajirra, of “Rajirra’s SportsPaint” fame, here seen in a most scandalous little two-piece work she’d applied just this morning. We caught up with Raj her famous “Paint-Only” beach resort for Khajiits.

“So, Rajirra, you’ve become quite wealthy - even famous - for your line of paint underwear, this resort, and now your new line of beach-paint-wear. To what do you credit the tremendous growth of this fashion trend?”

“Is crazy, no? Thank you Mr. Johan, yes I’ve done well. But I don’t forget where I come from, and am happy to give to less-fortunate Khajiit through my not-for-profit Raj Foundation. But yes, the PaintWear business is booming, it is no doubt. And why should it not? If you have tail, you will know the issues we face with clothing. This solves not all, but certainly one of those problems. PaintWear gives freedom of movement like no other. And is sexy too, no?”

“Oh yes, very sexy. But there are critics…”

“Oh poo. Jealous women only and not-steady-hands. My salons, opening throughout Cyrodiil, have talented application specialists that provide services needed.”

“And the issue of hygene?”

“Hygene? We are Khajiits you see?! We shame other races in this way. Perhaps Argonians may reach our level of cleanliness. Perhaps. For other races, PaintWear may not be a wise choice, but for the Khajiit it is perfect solution.”

“And what about your menfolk?”

“Raj Paints is leading promoter of men’s PaintWear. But naturally there come issues not to be worried in women. Men do not stay the same. Change size, you see. Is difficult.”

“Indeed. But now Rajirra, let’s switch subjects. There are disputes about the origin of the PaintWear phenomenon.”

“Rajirra invent PaintWear. No other. I paint myself first.”

“There are those, even here in Anvil, that point to another Khajiit as having…”

“Lies and more lies. You speak of that writer, do you not? Pfah. It may be that some beggar Khajiit splashed some paint upon herself at some time. But even the lizard admits her wayward Khajiit friend only did so until she could purchase so-called REAL underwear. This is not innovation… This is not invention! Perhaps this interview shall conclude now, eh? ARMANDO!”

“Sorry Raj, I just brought it up so you could explain to our readers…”

“Ah, yes. No, is okay Armando. Sorry, I am sensitive to this. Continue.”

“Now, about your new line of beachwear…”

“Oh, like this I wear! Yes, is new application of paintwear concept for the beach! Is natural evolution. PaintWear underwear is great, but is not visible, see? No one but lover sees. But with only some minor changes, PaintWear becomes BeachWear! This is latest design I make. Templates for sale at Raj Salon near you! You like?”

“It’s quite… revealing. Perhaps a bit too revealing?”

(laughs) “Oh yes, too revealing. Only the most daring, like I, would wear my work to the beach. Is too much for you, I can see. Is only for beautiful people. Perhaps, someday, you could be beautiful people though. And now I have party to go to. Armando, can you show man out?”

“Just one more question, if I might, Rajirra. Your PaintBeachWear… wouldn’t it… I mean… in water, wouldn’t it wash off?”

“WATER? Pfft. Silly man. Armando… thank you Armando. Khajiit do not go in water at the beach silly man. Would get paint wet.”
